I'm glad you found it useful. :wave:
Ruth, he had a nasy habit of nibbling peoples clohing and biting legs, feet and bums when I first got him but as he no longer has any incisors those days are behind him now!
As a little update, seen as people are still using this thread, he is having the wound cleaned and flushed every other day now. I was finding the outside was trying to close very quickly but a large pocket remains inside from where the second abcess was excised. The hole closed too far to let me get gause in any longer so I had to improvise!
He now has a flush of sterile water with doxycyline dissolved in it, then I let the pocket drain and dry and then I pack the entry canal with the Intrasite/Ornicure (doxcycline powder) mix. To keep the wound open I then insert a cotton bud impregnated with the gel mix into the opening and cut it off leaving just enough stick to pull it out again with tweesers.
He is still having a engemycin injecion every third day and this seems to be working well.
